The EDSC Reading Challenge is open for 2023
The EDSC Reading Challenge is now open! We’re counting all the books ALL students and staff read from January 1 until August 30.
It is very simple to take part. Students can read ANY books they like (excluding children's picture books). Students can read graphic novels, manga, English class novels, books in another language, poetry, non-fiction, eBooks, audiobooks, and more!
Prizes include randomly drawn fortnightly canteen vouchers for anyone reading, and lots of individual $20 book vouchers awarded throughout the year. Any student who reads and verifies 15 books will be invited to our end of year pizza party and will receive a certificate and EDSC house points.
We’ve also further simplified how students record their books. Participants can just start adding any books that have been read to our brand new Google Form on our Reading Challenge webpage.
This year all senior students can take part for the first time! We’ll be awarding a prize for our Top Senior School Reader.
All details are on our new Reading Challenge webpage. Students are also welcome to visit the Library to talk to staff about the Challenge. Happy reading!

2023 Booklist Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Campion?
Campion is a third party company that EDSC uses to administer our booklist and supply new books to students.
Do I have to buy everything on the list?
You need to buy everything listed for the subjects your student is enrolled in. However, general stationery items such as pens and rulers do not need to be purchased from Campion if you already own these items or can source them elsewhere.
Do I have to buy books through Campion, or can I buy second-hand books elsewhere?
You don’t have to buy the books through Campion. However, there is a risk of buying incorrect editions of textbooks from other parties, as textbooks are revised regularly. If you’d like to buy second-hand books, we recommend buying them through the Sustainable School Shop. This company has been supplied with the EDSC booklist and can help ensure you buy the correct editions.
If you buy a second hand book, you should also check whether you need to purchase a digital code to access any extra online resources required.
Why am I charged $15.95 at the end of my order?
Campion charges a $5.95 processing fee for all orders. Orders will also be charged a $10 home delivery fee as due to COVID-19, school delivery and pick-up is unable to take place. However, you may be able to organise order pick-up from Campion by contacting Campion directly.
